Overwatch closed beta announced

Has anyone else looked into this? It's a Blizzard fps and it looks like a combination of Torchlight, CSGO, and Shadow Warrior. I immediately drank all of the Kool-Aid upon watching gameplay.

*edit
Lots of TF2 influence as well.

Looks interesting. I've seen it a bit ago, but didn't know about the upcoming beta. I'm signed up for it.

I signed up for it as well, but apparently if you don't have a big twitch following you probably won't get in.

I have a large twitch whenever I'm off my meds, so I should be good.

Lucky. Blizzard said people with Twitch are high priority, but people with Convulse are even higher on the list.

It looks like a Team Fortress 2 clone with more class diversity. I've been signed up for beta forever and didn't get in. I typically get into all of Blizzard's alphas/betas. I got into the Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm alphas, and previously have gotten into World of Warcraft expansion betas. We all know that if you have a decent twitch.tv following they'll throw you a key though. It's like that for basically any alpha/beta.

My fear is that it'll be a monthly subscription game. That shit bothers me. And I hope that people who participate in the beta get something back like a discount if it's full retail price, or at least some in-game rewards.

As long as it doesn't start leaning towards pay-to-win, I'm okay with that.

I swear they said this was going to be free to play originally.

$40. I'll probably pass.

Could be a lot worse, plus those who got into the beta will likely get a discount or at least easy access to a new hero or skins.

I've watched enough of it to realize it's Blizzard's version of TF2. It's a very team oriented game so the only way I'd consider getting it is if we had at least 4 guys pick it up and would play it regularly.

Yep, strictly a cooperation-based MOBA. I'm sure as hell getting it, and I don't think Tater would mind a revamped TF2...

So I'm currently downloading Overwatch for the few days of open beta and then the full game in a couple weeks. Anyone else thinking of playing?
